The group announced its endorsement this afternoon of the Chapel Hill investment banker, who is running for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate.
"We thought Jim is the ideal candidate to defeat Elizabeth Dole, and that is why we are behind his candidacy," said chairman Dwayne Collins in a statement. "He was the best candidate on the issues that affect all citizens, but especially members of the African American community."
